We LIVE TO PLEASE.

The measure Of life being but . span.
We should enjoy it while we can;
To accomplish this no better way
Than live with all in harmony.
Each should endeavor each to please,
Which can be done with greatest ease.
1t only needs to lay aside
Self, that would our reason guide.
To please has been our life's desire;
We toll for it, but never tire;
And passing years suggest new ways
BY which we may the people please.
For our last effort in this way,
Permit us here word to say,
And introduce you, if you choose,
To our unequalled stock Of shoes.
There's nothing like ii in the land,
And prices what the times demand,
Besides in comfort, ease and wear,
You'll find perfection every pair.
